Https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=5999Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Timur, also known as Tamerlane, who was a powerful Mongol emperor who ruled over a vast empire that included present-day Central Asia, Afghanistan, and parts of Iran, Russia, and China. He is considered one of the greatest conquerors in history, known for his military campaigns and cultural achievements. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the Timurid Empire, which was known for its blend of Mongol, Persian, and Islamic traditions.
